About this house rental
A Grá Mo Croí - (My Heart's Desire) is a traditional Irish-style cottage in Roads / Kells. It lies at the end of a cul-de-sac on a mountain slope with a fantastic view of Dingle Bay, the Dingle Peninsula and the Atlantic Ocean with the offshore Blasket Islands. The house and the beautiful garden are located on a 7000qm large plot and give enough privacy. In beautiful tranquility, away from everyday life, you can enjoy the cosiness of the cottage, after you return from a walk in the fresh sea air. The house has three bedrooms.
On the ground floor there is a bedroom with adjoining bathroom. This bedroom has a double bed.
In the attic there are two bedrooms. One has two single beds and the other has a large single bed. There is also a shower room.
If you have prepared your meal in the well-equipped kitchen, you can enjoy it in the winter garden with breathtaking views.
General Information: The Iveragh Peninsula is mainly characterized by the Ring of Kerry, which is the main attraction of southwestern Ireland in County Kerry. But not only the scenic road but also the surroundings of Killarney and Valentia Island and Skellig Michael belong to the Iveragh, where inside with the McGillycuddy Reeks are also the highest mountains in the country. The peninsula has pretty much everything about prehistoric and early monuments that Ireland's history offers. Outstanding are Abbeys, Castles (around Killarney), Duns, Friary, Sacred Springs, Ogham Stones, Menhirs, Wedge tombs and the great Alignement of Eightercua. The place Killorglin is known for the three-day festival "Puck Fair" (beginning 10th of August). The festival, based on Celtic traditions, in which mainly animals are involved, is a crowned goat as king. The occasion of the festival was Christianized. The buck, however, originally symbolized the Irish goddess. His monument in the village represents him standing on a boulder. A detour from Cahersiveen on the Valentia River leads to the Steinforts or Duns of Cahergall and Leacanabuaile. To the west are Valentia Island and Beginish Island. The tiny Church Island, whose monastery dates back to 750 AD, can only be reached by private initiative from the pier in Cahersiveen. Valentia Island can also be reached by boat from there or from Reenard Point to Knightstown, the main settlement on the island. There is a road connection over the bridge at Portmagee. The island is between Knightstown and the Bray Head Lighthouse about 10 km long and only 3-4 km wide. Away from the busy narrow streets of the Ring of Kerry lies the Wandererparadies, the entire hilly southwest with the main town Ballinskelling with the old Priory. From here you can book private tours (30-40 €) to Skellig Michael, the island of monks, the puffin.

Our stay here was pretty much idyllic. The house was just what we were looking for and suited us well. Plenty of space, comfy beds, great kitchen and a view to die for

This was an amazing find. My husband and I decided to explore the ring of Kerry and this place was a magnificent addition to the experience. The photos on the listing do not do it justice, and as some other comments stated, it’s way too cheap for that Margitta ks charging for it.
We came off season, with wind and constant rain, but this place made the trip.
It was so cozy. warm and incredibly comfortable, especially all the LED and glow in the dark fixtures.
If you are looking for a warm, quiet place to stay with an amazing view, definitely check this jem out.
thank you so much for hosting us, we are definitely coming back again.

Our first impressions of this VRBO rental were that it showed better than the actual pictures. The workmanship/craftmanship that the builder put into every detail was nothing short of amazing. We enjoyed the sitting in the two chairs drinking coffee overlooking Dingle Bay. Spectacular views of the ocean out front and the mountains in back. The home was extremely clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We came to see the countryside of Ireland but found ourselves loving this home.
Margitta was absolutely the best and was very helpful in answering our questions. She is a sweet person and definitely understands hospitality.
We are from the United States, and I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone comparing places to stay.

My wife and I spent a glorious week-plus at Dieter and Margitta's magnificent retreat on Dingle Bay. We were fortunate to have nearly flawless weather and the views were spectacular across the bay to Dingle town and all the way out to the Blasket Islands and the North Atlantic. This holiday home is flawlessly clean and modern with all needed amenities and very comfortable in every respect. Surrounded by continuous fields, stone walls, sheep, and Irish Mountain Hares in the evenings, and bordered by mountains behind and the bay below, it is an isolated and beautiful landscape dotted with small, well-kept cottages and homes. The towns of Glenbeigh and Cahersiveen are nearby and accessible. Day trips around the Iveragh Peninsula (Ring of Kerry) and Valencia Island are varied and interesting. The Dingle Peninsula and Skellig and Blasket Islands are also accessible. For the hardy, the high peaks of Ireland are nearby and fishing the local loughs is available and productive. Cycling and hiking are excellent here. With excellent maps available from http://www.osi.ie/, one can find castles, forts, standing stones, etc on private lands but available to the respectful public.
For questions and concerns, we found Dieter and Margitta to be very responsive both before and during our visit. We highly recommend this holiday home and hope to return soon.
